Summary of Federal Project Grant Award

McIntosh School District 15-1 received a $1,253,158 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services to a federally impacted school district in McIntosh, South Dakota, where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports core educational services including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a local educational agency serving a community with significant federal impact, the district utilizes Impact Aid formula funding to maintain educational quality and infrastructure despite constrained local revenue capacity. The district also receives complementary sub-awards from the South Dakota Department of Education for Title I, Title II REAP, Title IV, School Improvement, School Lunch, and Perkins Reserve programs that further enhance educational programs and support for students.
